The product is a modular DKM transmitter card from BlackBox, type ACX1MT-DHID-C, specifically designed for use in modular DKM KVM extender enclosures. It enables the extension of KVM signals (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) over CATx connections and allows connecting a computer to a remote console. The module features a
DVI-D video connection and two
USB HID connections intended for keyboard and mouse control. Connection to the receiver module is made via an
RJ-45 port, which supports CATx cables. The maximum transmission distance is 140 meters, with digital signal transmission enabling pixel-accurate resolution up to 2048 x 1152 for Single Link DVI. For applications requiring higher graphic resolution, the module is compatible with Dual Link DVI, allowing resolutions up to 2560 x 1600/2x2K.
Applications
This base module is suitable for point-to-point KVM extensions and for use in KVM matrix switching systems of the DKM FX and DKM FXC series. It is installed in modular DKM extender enclosures, with the transmitter module placed at the computer and the corresponding receiver module at the console. The modular design enables flexible configuration, allowing various video and peripheral interfaces to be combined to meet specific signal transmission requirements.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The module provides a
DVI-D connection for digital video transmission and two
USB HID ports designed for keyboard and mouse control. Connection to the receiver is made via an
RJ-45 port, which supports CATx cables. Transmission is digital, ensuring no signal quality loss. The maximum distance is 140 meters, with resolution up to 2048 x 1152 (Single Link DVI) or 2560 x 1600/2x2K (Dual Link DVI). The modules are intended for use in modular DKM extender enclosures, with at least one base module required per enclosure.
Technology Explained Simply
Digital signal transmission over CATx cables enables high-quality transmission of video and peripheral signals without quality loss. The use of DVI-D ensures pure digital video transmission, requiring no conversion to analog signals. The USB HID connections are specifically designed for keyboard and mouse control, allowing input devices to be directly connected to the module. The RJ-45 interface enables connection via standard network cables, which are commonly available in many IT infrastructures.
Compatibility and Accessories
The module is designed for use in modular DKM extender enclosures and must be combined with a corresponding receiver module to enable complete KVM extension. Connection is made via CATx cables, supporting a maximum distance of 140 meters. The modules are compatible with KVM matrix switching systems DKM FX and DKM FXC. For use in fiber optic networks, alternative modules with multimode or singlemode fiber optic connections are available; however, this module is limited to CATx connections.
Installation and Mounting
The module is inserted into a modular DKM extender enclosure, with the transmitter module installed at the computer and the receiver module at the console. Mounting is done by inserting the module into the enclosure and connecting the respective ports. The RJ-45 interface is connected to the receiver module using a CATx cable. Video and USB connections are linked to the peripheral devices accordingly. Installation requires no special tools, as the module is simply inserted and secured in the enclosure.
Operational Advantages
The modular design allows flexible adaptation to different requirements for video and peripheral interfaces. Digital signal transmission ensures high image quality without quality loss. The use of CATx cables enables utilization of existing network infrastructures, making installation cost-efficient. The maximum distance of 140 meters provides sufficient flexibility for many application scenarios. The warranty is 2 years Double Diamond™ (Standard), highlighting the high reliability of the product.
TAA-Compliant
The module is TAA-compliant, with the note that it does not constitute an exception (except for models such as ACX2MT-DLHS-2S).
